Have you ever been there? Yes, I went there last week. Mehran Karimi Nasseri landed in Charles de Gaulle airport, in Paris, in 1988 - he's still there. oi Nasseri, from Iran, arrived at Terminal 1 without the correct refugee documents, but the French authorities said he could stay if he didn't leave the airport. When his papers finally arrived, seven years later, he was free to go. But he is still there, and in all os that time he has never left the airport. Why? Nasseri is sure he will go to prison if he tries to leave. Nobody knows why he thinks that. 'What can we do?' says Dr Phillipe Bargain. 'He seems normal, and he is free to leave, but he doesn't want to.' Nasseri is certainly very pale. He last saw daylight in 1999 when io he went outside to watch the eclipse of the sun. 'I am unhappy that I don't have any privacy, and even at night airports can be very noisy,' says Nasseri, quietly. 'And I would like to have a real bed. How can I have a normal life like this?' But, after so many years at Charles de Gaulle, it is the life he is understands and knows best. And Nasseri is now a celebrity. He has made friends with people from all over the world who stop to ask for his autograph, and people often give him presents. The airport authorities have also made his life comfortable. He has his own special seat where he sleeps, and airport workers give him 2o meal tickets so he can get food. Nasseri sleeps with eye shades -the lights never go out - and for washing and shaving he uses the men's toilets every morning before the first passengers arrive. refugee /.refjo'a^i:/ person who leaves their country, often because of a war pale (skin) /peil/ whiter than normal privacy /'pnvssi/ freedom to do things without others watching celebrity /sa'lebrsti/ famous person shaving /'Jeivirj/ cutting a beard or a moustache 28 unit three wordbooster describing towns 1 Label the pictures.

So now I've decided to spend a day getting some low, low prices. My day starts in an electrical shop where I want a discount on a mobile phone priced at £119. I decide to tell a lie. 'It's for my mother. She really needs a phone, but I can't afford that much. Can you bring the price down a bit?" He calls his manager. He says £110.1 say no. 'No? All right. £100. And that's my final offer, love.' 'OK, I'll take it,' I say. Not bad, a £19 discount. 'What about taking £50 off for me?' I say, a little later, holding a leather coat under the nose of a Marks and Spencer shop assistant. He's very shocked. 'Come on, I love it, but the price is just too high.' 'Yes, it is a very beautiful coat, madam,' he replies, 'but at Marks and Spencer, a price is a price, and the price is £225.1 suggest you come back in the sales.' I go to a street market. 'How much are these melons?' Two for £5,' says the man. 'Hmm. I'll give you £3.00.' I can see that's too low. 'All right, £3.50,' I say. 'OK, for you, £4.50." We finally agree on £4.1 then get £1 off a £5 bunch of flowers at the next stall. I'm feeling great. My next stop is another electrical shop. I want a washing machine. It's £399. 'That's too expensive. Can you take a bit off?' I ask.' I can't afford it.' 'No.' So, I look at the shop door, and say, 'OK, I'll leave it.' Finally he says 'OK', and he gives me £40 off.
